“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”

Kahlil Gibran

I am so excited to be joining in with Living Arrows again this year. It was so lovely to capture my two grow last year, and I love that I go back and compare now I'm joining in again! Every week I'll be sharing a capture of my littles - either individually or together. To capture how they grow and change week by week.

With both Indie and Parker at preschool, it's only Wednesdays that we have as a full day together now. Of course by the end of the day I'm pulling my hair out (they bicker like cat and dog these two!), but for the most part they love spending the day together. We went to the park about 3 times last week, and Indie was being such a helpful big sister!

Of course the main attraction in our house is still this little one though! She's 6 weeks now, and we're starting to get smiles and coos almost daily. She reminds me soo much of Indiana as a baby, and I really think she's her double - especially when she's smiling.

Waaay back in August, with a little Lilah still in my belly, we made the crazy decision to book a family Holiday to Disneyland. Of course we’d LOVE to visit Disney World, but with three little ones aged 4, 2 and just 8 weeks when we travel, we knew Paris was definitely the more suitable option for us.

Our trip is now just a few weeks away, so I thought I would write a little post documenting our plans! We booked through a travel agent (directly through Disneyland Paris), as we wanted the ease of changing details and talking to someone if we needed to. It was super simple, and as they did the calling and sorting, we both felt a little more relaxed about it all.

When we booked, Disneyland had their ‘kids go free’ AND the ‘2 nights free’ offers on, so we took advantage of both. So we’re travelling Monday - Friday, which therefore worked out as 4 nights for the price of 2! We’re also staying onsite at the Hotel Santa Fe, which although on the more budget end, still looks and sounds perfect for us.

To get to the magic, we opted to travel by Eurostar. It seemed the most direct choice (and there was nooo way I was braving a flight with two toddlers and a newborn!). We paid a little extra for two year old Parker to have his own seat, as well as the Magical Express - meaning we can head straight to the parks when we arrive!

After talking to lots of people and manically googling, we also decided to prepurchase a meal plan to make meal times a little easier. We went for the Half Board Plus option, which gives us two meals a day at a range of restaurants. I have already booked all our of dining reservations (you’re advised to do this 60 days in advance), and we’ve chosen:

Another little extra we’ve purchased is the Photo Pass. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be necessary, as I doubt we’ll be going on many of the biiig rides with the littles. But as long as we get at least one of two family photos, I think it’ll be worth it!

I think that’s everything to cover about our trip for now. We’ve bought all the Disney clothing, passports are sorted and I’ve started thinking of my packing list... eek, I am just SO excited!

With the newborn bubble slowly fading and Lilah having longer periods of awake time, I thought it was time we introduced more stimulation to...
